Abstract

As scholars and policy-makers attempt to rationalize the architecture of global governance, comparative institutional analysis has increasingly been applied on the international plane. This approach has great promise in making the best modalities of each regime available to other regimes. In this context, it is important to ask what lessons the World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement mechanism holds for the compliance systems of international environmental treaties. In addressing the question, Section I of this chapter presents an overview of the WTO dispute system and takes note of its strengths. Section II considers criticisms of WTO adjudication. Section III considers criticism of WTO remedies in the event of a compliance failure by the defending government. Finally, Section IV discusses implications of the WTO experience for environmental governance.
